Renaissance Faire

In *Tapestry*, you start from nothing and advance on any of the four advancement tracks (science, technology, exploration, and military) to earn progressively better benefits. You can focus on a specific track or take a more balanced approach. You will also improve your income, build your capital city, leverage your asymmetric abilities, earn victory points, and gain tapestry cards that will tell the story of your civilization. We'll play with Plans & Ploys and Arts & Architecture expansions which essentially are "more of the same" kind of expansion, including a fifth (Art) track.

[Festival Hybrid'](https://www.le140.be/festival/festival-hybrid/) Combo Cabaret #4 spécial **ZOO / Thomas Hauert + Julia B. Laperrière** 70' + 50' (16+) 14.04 > 19h00 [Tickets (30€ /40€ - hors PASS Article 27 accepté)](https://shop.utick.be/?module=ACTIVITYSERIEDETAILS&pos=LE140BE&s=11880559-5751-4CEE-A44C-4E4A048C8CAC) Contenu sensible : nudité, musique forte, lumières flashantes (non stroboscopique). Troglodyte, Zaungast/Zaunkönig · ZOO / Thomas Hauert Thomas Hauert approfondit dans ce nouveau solo un processus de création déjà présent dans ses deux dernières créations : faire de la psychologie, de la vie intérieure, de l’inconscient comme moteurs du mouvement. “Zaungast” désigne celui·celle qui regarde de l’extérieur, c’est littéralement “l’invité·e de la barrière”. « Zaunkönig » est le nom allemand du troglodyte, un petit oiseau chanteur “roi de la clôture”. Minuscule mais roi en même temps, on l’imagine caché dans les crevasses rocheuses, « staying on the fence » dirait-on en anglais, pour parler de quelqu’un·e qui regarde mais ne prend pas position. Falla · Julia B. Laperrière À travers l’histoire, l’identité de genre féminine a souvent été étroitement définie par l’absence du phallus. Julia B. Laperrière aborde cette idée problématique d’un point de vue féministe queer en utilisant le strap-on dildo comme outil de transformation : comment se sent-on lorsqu’on a/porte un pénis ? Comment cela affecte-t-il la façon de se mouvoir ? De quel(s) pouvoir(s) hérite celui/celle qui le porte ? En collaboration avec la guitariste Pia Achternkamp, Falla est une invitation ludique, une incursion dans l’entre-deux qui met en avant une vision de la sexualité féminine alternative, libérée et sans honte.

Sais-tu que dans la Grèce antique, le gymnase était autant un lieu pour sculpter son corps que pour aiguiser son esprit ? Platon lui-même était un lutteur de haut niveau (son surnom signifie d'ailleurs "le large d'épaules") ! 😉 À Bruxelles, on ressuscite cette tradition oubliée avec un concept inédit : la **Philo-Sportive**.

Manhattan was under the firm control of Lucky Luciano, a prominent mobster. To strengthen his grip on the territory, he implemented a well-structured system. He divided Manhattan into different districts, each assigned to a specific mobster responsible for handling their "business" operations. The ultimate goal is simple: accumulate the most money and become the most successful mobster in the city. Do you have what it takes to rise to the top of the speakeasy scene and take over Manhattan during Prohibition? It's time to grab your fedora and find out in Speakeasy. **Note: we will play with a “10:30 rule” meaning the game will finish between 22:00 and 22:30.**

If you have a ball, please bring it... Let's gather at the Parc du Cinquantenaire close to the Tour de Tournai (https://goo.gl/maps/RsxFtTJydq92) and organize a *low-level* football match on the grass. Unless it rains badly as we're about to play, the game is on. Players of any age, weight, sex and size are allowed. Come as you are, at any time after 4pm. IMPORTANT REMINDER -- As Shitty Players, we don't bite or growl when someone misses the ball. We don't do penalties or yellow cards because we're so gentle we don't need them. We vaguely know of the existence of other rules like off-side but we'd rather ignore them than argue about them. We may or may not keep track of the score: this is a game where everyone wins. To help build the Team, come with 2 t-shirts white and black (or similar colors: light grey and dark blue etc). Beer session will follow on the grass, for those who survive till the end.

How does it work ? • The events are open for beginner to advanced gamers. If you're new here they're the perfect gateway to discover what we do! • Those who want to host a game are asked to share in the comments below which game, & for how many players you can run your table. • For others, if you see a game you'd like to join just respond to the host in the comments below and we'll reserve a spot for that game for you. • Don't worry if you're new to boardgames or simply don't know the games being hosted this time around; you can simply show up and the event host will sort out a spot at a table for you! *But please make sure to arrive by 19h30* at the latest *so we can take the time to find you a suitable spot.* • The rules for the games will be explained by the table host before the game starts. No need to study them upfront, although several hosts post a video link to rules or background which can enhance your enjoyment of the game if you have the time to watch beforehand.
